•The Geode must be placed on a stable, solid, and vibration-free surface.
•No objects should be placed on top of the Geode.
•The Geode should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
•There should be enough space to make sure that the fans at the front, the back, or the sides
are not covered and that the main switch is accessible. There should be a distance of at least
25 cm between the instrument and any wall or neighboring objects. Multiple Geodes should
not be placed back-to-back or back-to-front. Before transportation, the respective chip holder
(Sapphire chips & Opal chips) must be removed, and the 2 transportation lock screws must
be secured.
•For lifting the Geode- get as close to the load as possible. Try to keep your elbows and arms
close to the body. Keep the back straight while lifting by tightening the core muscles, bending
at the knees, keeping the load close, centered in front, and look up and ahead. Get a good
handhold and do not twist while lifting. Do not jerk; use a smooth motion while lifting. If the
load is too heavy to allow this, seek help to lift.
•Carrying the Geode- do not twist or turn the body; instead, move the feet to turn. The hips,
shoulders, toes, and knees should face the same direction. Keep the load as close to the
body as possible with the elbows close to the body. If fatigued, set the load down and rest for
a few minutes. Do not excessively strain while trying to lift the Geode, the proper posture
should be maintained for setting down and lifting technique.
•Setting down the Geode- set the load down in the same way it was picked up, but in the
reverse order. Bend at the knees, not the hips. Keep the head up, the coremuscles tight, and
do not twist the body. Keep the load as close to the body as possible. Wait until the load is
secure to release the handhold.
•If a part of the Geode chamber loosens or breaks, then the Geode is not leakproof. Pressure
cannot build up so that there is no chance any parts are projected to cause harm.
•If a part of the Geode chamber breaks while a 1 bar overpressure is built up, a sudden noise
or pop can be generated for a fraction of a second without causing any harm to the user.
